Position the IDS appliance on the network.

Attach the power cord to the IDS appliance and plug it into a power source (a UPS is
recommended).

Connect the serial cable:

For the 4215, use the console port to connect to a computer to enter configuration
commands. Locate the serial cable from the accessory kit (PN 72-1259-01). The serial
cable assembly consists of a 180/rollover cable with RJ-45 connectors (DB-9 connector
adapter PN 74-0495-01 and DB-25 connector adapter PN 29-0810-01).

Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port and connect the other end to the serial
port connector on your computer.

For all other supported appliances, use the dual serial communication cable (PN
72-1847-01, included in the accessory kit) to attach a laptop to the COM1 port of the
IDS appliance.
